Packed full of information

Ideal for new hunters, fishermen to lifestyle block owners. Very informative and easy to read. A must read to process the animal you have raised for you and your family

Finally, a book to the point but detailed enough

Getting a book that takes the idea you might just be a novice and brings you visually into the picture.

Very easy to understand and full of helpful information. Highly recommend for any homesteader looking into butchering their own meat.

[Fredrick Danysh · Rating 3 out of 5]

The processes and procedures of butchering and processing everything from small games and birds to big game and livestock is covered in this home guide. It is a useful tool for hunters, preppers, and back to the land seekers who want to control the quality of their own food. There is a chapter on food safety. This work should be in any outdoorsman's library.

I read this for research for a character. The pictures aren't as growdy as one might expect. I am probably not the best judge of the efficacy of this topic since I have never knowingly killed an animal...
